Schmooze and Snouts
Professionals and Cute Pets
This event can be almost anything as long as it's associated with an industry and there are adoptable animals at the event. For shelters to raise money at this event, have a donation jar and ask the event space or restaurant holding the event to donate some of the profit from the evening. The shelter could also have a backdrop and photo props with a shelter employee ready to take photos for a donation.
